Soft Wheat Banana Muffins
These wonderfully moist muffins are very easy to make because they are a “throw-everything in one bowl operation”! I use whole wheat pastry flour which is milled from soft wheat rather than the hard red wheat in regular whole wheat flour (here is one I like) which is perfect for these muffins because it is light and airy yet still rich in fiber.

Almond French Toast
The rich almond flavor in this French toast gives it just the perfect touch! I make it with a wholegrain bread (click here for the one I like best) that is high in fiber, low in salt, low in sugar, and has no partially hydrogenated oils (even has lentils, and you know how I feel about those!). This recipe is just enough for 2 slices, and I mean it, the bread will soak it ... Read More »

Of course, that richness has nothing ... Read More »
